I don't know much about the animal world, so I was quite intrigued by an article in Snopes. The folllowing extract did it:
"The animal kingdom has a funny way of showing love. A male octopus will detach a sperm-laden arm when he finds a viable mate, while a female praying mantis will often decapitate and ingest the heads of her mates after copulation. Gorillas in captivity have been recorded engaging in sexual acts, and barnacles can change the size and shape of their penises in what is called phenotype plasticity.
Like many species in the animal kingdom, including ourselves, lobsters use scent as a means of communication. As the New England Aquarium (NEAQ) put it simply, lobsters “talk” to one another when “they pee in each other’s faces.”
